## Abstract Sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF~4~) was found to catalyze the electrophilic substitution reactions of indoles with aldehydes and ketones under solventβfree conditions to afford the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes in high yields.
## Abstract An efficient synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes through Fe^III^βcatalyzed electrophilic substitution reactions of indoles with various aldehydes in ionic liquid is described. It was found that the ionic liquids involving FeCl~3~Β·6H~2~O were the most efficient catalytic systems, and could
